Narcissistic CEOs Drive Return-to-Office Mandates, Research Finds

Research from Wharton suggests that a significant factor driving CEO mandates for returning to the office is leader narcissism, rather than purely operational benefits. Studies indicate that narcissistic leaders prefer in-person interactions to exert power and gain admiration, which are more challenging to achieve through remote communication channels. The research, which used metrics like CEO pay packages and signature sizes in reports, found a correlation between higher narcissism scores and opposition to remote work, even suggesting a causal link when narcissistic self-image was activated.
